G, G v. CNG AND SIL

Citation

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCT66/2023

The court held that the Bribery Arbitration in substance sought to impugn and unwind existing arbitral awards and to evade the exclusive statutory mechanism in Article 34 / s81; such challenges are within the supervisory jurisdiction of the Hong Kong court, are non-arbitrable in this context and constitute an abuse of process; accordingly an injunction restraining the Bribery Arbitration was justified and the stay applications were dismissed.

A FIRM v. MG

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 841
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCT26/2021

The application for leave was dismissed because the Plaintiff failed to plead and prove the required grounds and file the necessary affidavit, failed to apply to the arbitral tribunal during the arbitration for remedies to the alleged procedural irregularity, failed to establish that it was the contracting party entitled to commence the arbitration, and therefore could not satisfy the Article 34(2)/section 81 threshold for setting aside the award; there were no prospects of success.
